[BOSS] Sintia, the Alchemical Hydra - TheCashFire/Realm-of-Aureus GitHub Wiki
- Sintia, The Alchemical Hydra.
- Sintia's Crystal, which must be broken to begin the fight.
Sintia is the second boss of the Crystal Caverns, accessible through speaking with the NPC in front of the Emerald Layer's boss door. In exchange for an Amethyst Key, the player will be able to challenge Sintia. Sintia will drop an Amethyst Chest upon death, wich can reward a total of 3 items.
During the fight, Sintia will employ a wide variety of strategies in combat, including the following attacks:
- Energy Beam: Sintia blasts the player with a beam of energy- shields are not effective against this.
- Crystal Rain: Crystals rain from the sky and explode when they hit the ground.
- Sinta is Focusing her Energy!: For each head that Sintia loses, her damage will be multiplied.
- Burrowing: Sintia burrows into the ground, lessening her hitbox and dealing more damage.
- Charge (Unnamed): Sintia will charge at the player at great speeds, dealing multiple instances of damage. Will shred shields.
Notes: Sintia is a boss who can deal high damage to melee players but has a weakness to explosive damage. having a party member focused on tanking her damage will be helpful.
Helpful Tips:
- Move around, as most of Sintia's attacks have a long windup animation. The most common strategy is to have a player/players harass Sintia with bows that are enchanted with Fireball or Explosive arrows, exploiting her main weakness. Because Sintia cannot use her ranged attacks during her Burrowing, you can use it as chance to heal up. Because "Sintia is Focusing her Energy!" has a very long visual animation, it is possible to stun lock Sintia in this animation once it is first reached, if the party has a high enough DPS to get to the next focusing before her first animation finished.
